Lyrics
I'm going home, walk the street by night
Expressing a desire to return home and wander the streets at night.
Standing in the rain staying out of sight
Seeking refuge from the rain while intentionally staying hidden.
Silhouettes move behind windows
Observing shadows moving behind windows, creating a mysterious atmosphere.
Like black and white movie shows
Comparing the scene to a black and white movie, suggesting a nostalgic or cinematic quality.
Familiar faces I see them all
Recognizing familiar faces and recalling forgotten memories displayed on a stranger's wall.
Long forgotten memories on a strangers wall
Eliciting emotions tied to memories found in an unfamiliar place.
I see ghosts materialise
Perceiving ghosts taking form, possibly symbolizing unresolved issues or past experiences.
Forbidden shadows rise before my eyes
Noticing forbidden shadows emerging, suggesting hidden or suppressed aspects coming to light.
I guess that the writing is on the wall
Recognizing a forewarning or indication of an inevitable outcome.
I stand and watch as the curtain falls
Watching a symbolic curtain fall, signifying the end of a situation or relationship.
Forbidden shadows on the wall
Reiterating the presence of forbidden shadows on the wall, emphasizing their significance.
Forbidden shadows all I know
Highlighting that forbidden shadows represent a substantial part of the speaker's understanding.
I'm going home, can't say where I've been
Expressing uncertainty about the speaker's recent whereabouts.
Now I'm on the outside looking in
Feeling like an outsider and observing events from an external perspective.
Is this retribution, an eye for an eye
Pondering whether current circumstances are a form of retribution or a unique way of saying goodbye.
Or is it just a funny way of saying goodbye
Considering the possibility of an eye for an eye or a peculiar farewell.
I guess that the writing is on the wall
Reiterating the presence of foreboding signs or warnings on the wall.
I stand and watch as the curtain falls
Witnessing the symbolic closure as the curtain falls, marking a definitive end.
Forbidden shadows on the wall
Emphasizing the persistence of forbidden shadows on the wall, underscoring their lasting impact.
Forbidden shadows all I know
Reiterating that forbidden shadows encapsulate the speaker's understanding of the situation.
